Banana Peanut Butter Cookies

Please share.....

These Banana Peanut Butter cookies are probably the easiest thing you will ever make. Yes I know that scooping the peanut butter from the jar and eating it from a spoon is even easier but…..this is the next best thing.

I love peanut butter without reservation. The crunchier it is the more I love it. It’s quite often better I don’t have a jar of it around the house because I can eat it by the spoonful.

Are you a fan? If you are you will love these cookies.

Banana Peanut Butter Cookies. Cook them till dark golden and they will be crispy and so good.

I was reminded I used to make them all the time when I saw a post with a very similar recipe to this on Recipe Tin Eats. My recipe has banana in it. It’s a poor attempt at making me feel like these are a health food. They aren’t. Sugar and peanut butter are pretty much the majority of the 4 ingredients it takes to make them. On the positive side they have banana…… (see I told you it was a good recipe).

So I can hear you asking me…..why would I make these?. That is simple. They are gluten free and you can stir them together in 10 minutes. They’re a fun thing to make with kids because there really isn’t anything much you can do wrong. All you need is a bowl and a fork.

AND they are delicious, so peanut buttery.

STOP it someone take them away.

I make mine with the crunchiest peanut butter I can find. You could make them with other nut butters too (just not the ones from the supermarket as they don’t have much actual nut in them)

These cookies are so simple even a child could make them. They have 4 ingredients and a stir together method and are gluten free to boot! Australian cup measurements

Ingredients

Oven 180 C/ 2 lined trays

110 gm / ¾ cup / 3.40 oz caster sugar

375 gm / 13.20 oz / 1½ cups crunchy peanut butter

To shape the cookies you will need to get a fork and a cup of water. Dip the fork into the cup to stop the mixture sticking. Press onto each cookie flattening a little and shaping dipping the fork each time.

You'll get the hang f it in no time.
